Summary of This Method
Published in 1933, Gammes et Arpèges is a technical practice method by Marcel Moyse (1889-1984), a French flutist and composer whose approach has influenced flute teaching worldwide. Designed as a natural extension of Exercices Journaliers (1922), it offers a structured and highly effective framework to establish a solid and measurable practice routine.
From the outset, a summary chart facilitates session organization: the book divides progress into 30-minute periods, with 12 exercises per session. This layout, designed for regular practice, helps maintain a steady practice tempo while varying keys and transitions. It is a valuable tool for flutists seeking greater autonomy and a coherent training plan.
The content includes 480 exercises centered around three main areas: major scales, minor scales, and arpeggios of three to four notes. This combination addresses the essential technical vocabulary (fingerings distribution, attack uniformity, left-hand/right-hand coordination) while reinforcing sound stability across register changes. The arpeggios, in particular, support reflex development and positioning, essential for virtuosity as well as precision in a musical context.
Recognized and widely used, this method is part of a series of Moyse's works published by Alphonse Leduc, alongside major titles such as Mécanisme-Chromatisme (1927) and De la Sonorité (1934). Gammes et Arpèges is aimed at intermediate flutists wishing to consolidate their fundamentals and progress with a reliable, demanding, and decidedly efficient daily practice resource.
